NovelOnlineLiam replied, "I do." Liam's reply was lost in a cold breeze, and Blake could not hear it clearly. Leaves rustled and fell from the roadside trees as she turned back. She felt disappointed.
‘Kevin had already left with Audrey." Blake thought to herself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake embraced herself and straightened her long, wispy hair near her ear. She asked, "Liam, why is this happening to me? He's the one who asked me out, but why is he so cold to me now? We just broke up yesterday, and now he's keeping me in suspense. Do you think he's just keeping me on the hook?" Blake may not be a top student but she graduated from a reputable university. She did not have much dating experience in her student days. The senior Blake dated found her too rigid and chose the campus belle from the neighboring art school instead.
She remained single until now, and it was rare for her to find someone she liked. However, the person she liked was treating her badly.
Blake had never felt so frustrated. She continued, "Even if | pursued him before, he shouldn't play with my feelings like this, right?" "Yes." Liam simply responded and glanced at Blake.
"But did he ever read the love letter | wrote him?" Blake muttered. She wondered, 'Did he kiss me on that night?* Blake fell for Kevin long ago and could not pinpoint when. It might have been during her time as his assistant, witnessing his impressive presence in meetings, or when she accidentally tripped behind him and he scolded her. Maybe it started when Kevin helped her in the face of mistreatment as a new employee and appointed her as his assistant.
Although Blake did not have much to do every day, she spent most of her time with him apart from eating and sleeping, including working late at the office together on weekends.

Kevin walked into the office with the files and glanced at the person soundly asleep at his desk. Without lifting his head, he tapped the desk while looking at the documents.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Blake asked as she was startled. She quickly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
When Kevin saw the drool on the table, he frowned and said, "I'l finish reading these documents in the next three minutes.
Clean the drool and disinfect my desk by then, or itll affect your paycheck." Blake awkwardly looked at the drool on the table, grabbed a few tissues, and smiled, She said, "Mr. Harrison, | didn't mean to. | fell asleep waiting for you. Is it done? Can | go clock out now?" "Excuse me?" Kevin asked.
Blake said, "Hurry up and read it. I'll be waiting here for you." If they worked overtime past ten, Kevin would give Blake a lift home. After all, she was a girl and it was not safe for her to take a cab home.
